See this, but take no notice of the price, you can buy a fresher bunch that's twice as big at half the price, at any one of our Asian markets - needless to say I don't 
Added: Similarly Rocket is known as Aragula in the USA, I wonder where those names came from. As a kid I knew it as Italian Dandelion, my dad grew it on his allotment.

Yup, the same here, we use Koriander and Koriander seeds. Rocket lettuce is called Rucola over here.
